From the web:
The Richat Structure, also known as the Eye of the Sahara, has been proposed as a potential location for the legendary lost city of Atlantis. Here are some intriguing points:
Geological Feature: The Richat Structure, located in Mauritania, is a deeply eroded domal structure that overlies a still-buried alkaline igneous intrusion.
Similarities to Atlantis:
Circular Design: The Richat Structure fits Plato’s description of Atlantis, with its concentric circles.
Location: While Plato explicitly placed Atlantis beyond the Pillars of Hercules (the Strait of Gibraltar), some researchers speculate that the Richat Structure could be a real-world inspiration for Atlantis.
Cultural Memory: The story of Atlantis has been linked to memories of the Thera eruption, which affected Minoan settlements on Crete. Some argue that the Richat Structure preserves this memory12.
However, significant challenges remain, including the structure’s elevation and the lack of archaeological evidence supporting a once-inhabited city3. Whether the Richat Structure truly holds the secrets of Atlantis remains an enduring mystery.

The Pillars Of Heracles:
The Pillars of Hercules, also known as the Gates of Gades, are legendary promontories flanking the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. Here are some key points:
Northern Pillar: Calpe Mons, identified as the Rock of Gibraltar, stands on the European side.
Southern Pillar: The identity of Abila Mons (the southern pillar) has been debated. The two likely candidates are Monte Hacho in Ceuta and Jebel Musa in Morocco.
Mythology: According to Greek mythology, Hercules performed the tenth of his twelve labours by fetching the Cattle of Geryon from the far West and bringing them to Eurystheus. This marked the western extent of his travels.
Atlantis Connection: Plato placed the legendary island of Atlantis beyond the Pillars of Hercules.
Symbolism: Renaissance tradition associated the pillars with the warning “Ne plus ultra” (nothing further beyond), cautioning sailors not to venture farther.
Geographical Significance: The Strait of Gibraltar, formed by Hercules, connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.
Historical References: Pliny the Elder mentioned the Pillars in his work. They have fascinated explorers, writers, and artists throughout history
